Commonly Asked Questions

How often can I book events and coworking sessions?

Each organization is allotted one event space per business quarter (every three months). Event spaces may be reserved up to ninety days in advance of the desired date.

What hours can the space be utilized?

Coworking hours are between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Event spaces may be booked between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM, Monday through Friday. If your event is taking place after 5 PM we ask that you show up at 4:30 PM for a walk through and tech check.

Can this space be used as an office for my organization?

We welcome your organization to book our limited coworking space, but it is not intended to serve as a replacement for office space. The space is optimal for meetings and collaboration sessions in downtown San Francisco.

How can I login to the Member Portal?

Go to the login page. Your username is connected to the email address that you used to sign up for membership or request to use the space previously. To login, select one of the providers from the menu and enter your email address. Make sure to use the email address that is linked to your membership account - likely your business email and not your personal email. If your team does not use Google, Outlook, or Slack, you can easily create a Google Account here. Note, this does not require you to setup Gmail - you can enter in your existing email address (eg, @hotmail, @yahoo, @aol) and it will create a Google Account with your existing email address. Once you've gone through the setup steps, log in again using the "login with Google" option. Having issues? Reach out to communityspace@google.com. If you aren’t sure who at your organization is an active contact or is eligible to login to the portal, please reach out and we can assist you!

Description of the Google community space

Begin our virtual tour at the center of the Community Space. The space is anchored by a wrap-around wooden wall

with built-in bookshelf, which is shaped to reflect the waves of the San Francisco Bay.

Along the right wall of the space, floor-to-ceiling windows reveal stunning views of the Bay Bridge, the San

Francisco Bay, and the lively crowds on the Embarcadero. Against the window is a long, communal table, which

seats approximately 15 coworking guests. Continue into the coworking space to find a cozy lounge with

comfortable couches and a communal table seating an additional 10-15 guests. Featured in the coworking area is a

Liquid Galaxy wall and a technical exhibit (not pictured). Enter the Main Event Space, our largest event room

(2096 ft2), which seats up to 150 guests, has a beautiful mural on life on the Embarcadero (not pictured) and is

ideal for meetings, trainings, learning sessions and receptions. The room opens up into the micro-kitchen, which

is stocked with snacks and beverages. Revisiting the bookshelf, continue down the left corridor, past men's and

women's restrooms, to enter our Workshop Space. The Workshop Space, at 1109 ft2, seats up to 50 guests. Its

barnyard door, wooden peg walls stocked with markers and craft tools, as well as a maker's table make it best

for creative brainstorming sessions and hands-on creative collaboration. Exit the room and continue down the

hall to enter the small conference room.This conference room, at 297 ft2, is great for more formal meetings and

discussion. It is equipped with a conference phone, board style table and seating for 12, with chairs along the

wall for up to 8 additional guests. Just outside of the conference room are two all-gender restrooms, which face

the Google reception desk.
